17 ** [[http://common-lisp.net/project/cl-org-mode/][cl-org-mode]] - A Common lisp parser for org-mode outlines
19 Abstract: CL-ORG-MODE is a parser for org-mode files that uses an
20 extensible CLOS-based recursive descent parser to create a tree of org-mode
21 nodes. Also included is a (primitive) system for literate programming using
24 ** orgnode.py - python library for parsing Org files
26 - Author: Charles Cave
27 - Homepage: http://members.optusnet.com.au/~charles57/GTD/orgnode.html
29 : The Orgnode module contains one class, called Orgnode and a routine to read
30 : an org-mode file and create a list of Orgnode objects.
32 : The module is for reading an org-mode file. There are no methods for
33 : writing org-mode since since I have no need for this functionality.
35 : You are welcome to extend the functionality of the __repr__ method of the
36 : Orgnode class if you would like this functionality.

38 ** PyOrgMode - python library for creating and parsing Org files
40 - Author: Jonathan Bisson (on gmail : bissonjonathan)
41 - Homepage: https://github.com/bjonnh/PyOrgMode
43 : This python module allows for the creation and parsing of org-files. The
44 : org-files are loaded into python objects allowing the modification of the
45 : different recognized elements.
47 : The objects are defined in a plug-in way, allowing the user of this
48 : module to add easily a new kind of data and the relative functions.
50 : Current objects are :
56 : The project is contained in an unique tangle org-file which contains the
57 : documentation, the python files and the test suite.

80 There are several other Org-related modules on CPAN at various development
81 stages, all utilizing Org::Parser: App::OrgUtils (some utilities for Org
82 documents), Org::To::* (convert Org mode to various other formats).

108 ** Migrating from Tomboy to Org
110 In [[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/45239][this email]], Attila shared a script to move notes from Tomboy to
111 Org-mode -- see his message:
113 : I'm moving my note-taking from GNote (C++ rewrite of Tomboy Notes) to
114 : org-mode. As I have a lot of notes all over the place, I wrote a script to
115 : convert from the XML format used by the Tomboy-style tools to org-mode.

119 ** orgutil - TCL script to manipulate org files
121 - Author: Patrick Brennan
122 - Homepage: http://sourceforge.net/projects/orgutil/
124 : Script for converting files into and out of Org-mode, and for performing
125 : various analyses and conversions. The primary use case for this utility is
126 : to convert between Org-mode outline text and AbstractSpoon's ToDoList.
128 ** ical2org.awk - convert ics files to Org

131 - Code: [[file:../code/awk/ical2org.awk][ical2org.awk]]

136 ** ical2org.rb - convert ics files to Org
138 - Code: [[https://github.com/simonthum/ical2org][ical2org]]
139 - handles events and TODOs
140 - all sorts of repeating events
142 - one-way only though
143 - except if you have a REST-capable ical server, see README
144 ** org2remind - perl script to convert org appointments to remind
146 - Author: Matt Lundin
147 - Code: [[file:../code/perl/org2remind.pl][org2remind]]
149 Remind is a command line calendar application for Unix/Linux that
150 can, among other things, spit out formatted plain text calendars and
153 http://www.roaringpenguin.com/products/remind
155 : To convert org-mode appointments to remind data, simply call the
156 : script on one or more org files:
158 : perl org2remind.pl ~/org/*.org
160 : (Optionally, add the script to your path and make it executable.)
162 : The results of this script can saved in a file...
164 : perl org2remind.pl ~/org/*.org >> org.rem
166 : ...or piped directly into a remind command...
168 : perl org2remind.pl ~/org/*.org | remind -
170 : For a nice calendar of the current month, use the following:
172 : perl org2remind.pl ~/org/*.org | remind -c -
174 : This script is similar to org2rem.el (in the contrib directory of the
175 : org-mode repository), except that, instead of saving files from within
176 : org-mode, it allows for easier and faster access to org/remind data
177 : from the command line.
179 : Currently, the script supports appointments (i.e., active timestamps)
180 : and the org-diary-class sexp.
